I just switched from cable to DirecTV. My cable would go out twice a week and the customer service was terrible. DirecTV's customer service isn't much better but at least it hasn't gone out in the three months I've had it.

I experienced winds up to 70mpg and never lost signal strength or picture at all. As I said it depends how well the dish is mounted.

I hated direct tv the shyt kept going in and out during wind storms and then when it finally went out they wanted to charge a huge fee to fix it.

anyways goes to show you different people have different experiences hope you dont have the crap that I had to deal with.

What do you guys think ? I had Comcast since they debuted and took over from MediaOne and CableVision here where I live and just about a year or maybe less ago I switched to DirectTV and I am soooo glad that I did. Their customer service is a top notch, the beautiful channels are in HD - 100 of them and Directv offers more HD than Comcast does. Their receivers are better esp. the Hi-Definition Receiver for your HDTV. What else...umm.. better and more sports package... International Channel...SETANTA SPORTS soccer channel (if your a soccer fanatic like me)...and bunch of other channels that Comcast doesn't even have. Also, Gaming Channels... you play live video games with your remote with other people across the country who have DTV. How awesome is that...And all that BS you hear about weather messing the picture/signal strength up is a total BS. If you mount the dish safely and securely it will survive strong winds, blizzards, or any wild weather...unless you get slammed with a strong hurricane or a tornado.

Also, PRICES. ALOT CHEAPER THAN COMCAST. Comcast is known for raising prices while DirectTV never raises anything. Also Comcast High Speed internet is a joke...total fukkin joke.. They tell you you'll be getting 7 or up to 10 mbps...BUULLL****TT... as soon as you install it...at night time when everyone goes online **** can drop down to 1mbps even slower... FOR REAL.. it's because it's LAN meaning...it's shared so... maybe 30 people are connected to the same main line..and all of you feed off of that one line... while DSL even though it's slower gives you your own LINE, PRIVATE LINE so nobody can mess with your bandwidth. Even better, get Verizon FIOS. It's a thousand times superior to High Speed Cable internet.


P.S I don't work for Verizon or Direct TV I just wish I knew these things before I wasted my time on Comcast and their so called "HIGH SPEED INTERNET" MY A$$
